Leftover “soup” and other questionable meals

Have you ever come home from work and realized that you have nothing planned for dinner yet, and everyone is asking, “When are we going to eat?” Sound familiar?

Instead of ordering fast food, you can whip up a healthy and hearty soup with all those leftovers in the refrigerator. Just grab a big pot or saucepan, add a few cups of water and some beef, chicken or vegetable bouillon. Look in the fridge for any leftover vegetables, rice or pasta, meat or chicken, and cut into bite-size pieces. Season with your favorite spices and simmer for a few minutes. Hopefully, your family won’t recognize the leftovers, and you will have saved time and money.

My own Peanut ate a whole grilled cheese sandwich last night, accompanied by peas and a few Cheerios. Hardly gourmet cooking. Hardly cooking at all.

Considering some school districts actually consider ketchup as a vegetable – I’d say you’re going quite well. Try some tomato soup w/ that grilled cheese next time and show her how to dunk it – THAT’S good stuff!!
